I view every person as a unique individual with specific goals, perspectives, barriers, and background. Relationships (missing and broken), demands and expectations that lead to letdowns and depression, trauma, undesired repetitive behaviors, refusal to accept things as they are and shame ("something is wrong with me") are just a few of the common themes I help individuals and families with. I have experience with families, individuals and adolescent groups. My hope is to partner with people with a strong willingness to participate who want restoration.

Your current life situations do not have to predict your tomorrow. If you are ready to move away from the past I can help. My passion is to help others find freedom from the issues that are causing difficulties and pain. Freedom comes from resolving the issues that are causing the difficulties. Freedom can be found in many forms such as: mending relationships, putting an addiction to rest, developing boundaries, facing depression and anxiety or rebuilding a broken marriage. The road to tomorrow is paved by the work you do today.

Change in itself is a scary and an uncomfortable process for almost everyone. As a therapist I view my role as a companion on this journey. I truly love what I do and I find that most of my clients benefit from the passion that I bring into the space. The goals that I help clients realize in session is discovering the hidden strengths they have taken for granted. We each have a unique way of going through life and pick up so many skills, abilities, and knowledge that it often helps to have an outside perspective to remind us how to use them in a different way.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my approach to therapy. I have over 5 years of experience working with people to heal trauma. Traumatic events could include any experience a person perceived as threatening. My therapeutic modality is using a combination of Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Internal Relationship Focusing (IRF). I believe each client's body has the wisdom to guide us, client and therapist, through the resolution of trauma symptoms. I love to work with people who have spent considerable time in talk therapy and are now looking for alternative approaches.

I am uniquely qualified and trained in the field of addiction and especially enjoy working with those who are suffering from addictive disease. As a helping professional for over 25 years I have gained tremendous appreciation for the human spirit and one’s ability to strive for and experience positive change. I believe we all have difficulties to overcome throughout our lives no matter who we are, and change is possible if it is desired. My ideal client is someone that is motivated for change, is willing to engage in honest self-assessment, and understands that insight is necessary but not sufficient for real and lasting results.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
